Chris Pauli is senior vice president, construction for Buildersure, Canada’s leading construction underwriting team, backed by a unique combination of i3 Underwriting and Cansure construction expertise. He began his insurance career at Key Insurance in 2003, a locally owned retail brokerage based in British Columbia that had a successful relationship with Lloyd’s. During his time there, Pauli honed his skills as an underwriter and learned the nuances of Lloyd’s along the way. In 2008, he started i3 Underwriting along with two other partners. Predominantly backed by Lloyd’s of London, i3 Underwriting is a full-service MGA. At the outset, Pauli was tasked with growing their successful construction division. In 2020, i3 was acquired by Cansure during the heart of the pandemic, leading Pauli to his current role, where he heads a team of 27 dedicated construction employees.
